Moving from native borg to docker-borgserver

[Sdub76]

I've been doing machine to machine backups for years using a borgmatic container on the client side and the borg binary directly on the server (accessed via SSH)

For a variety of reasons, I want to containerize borg on the server side and I came across this container which appears to meet my needs. Are there any special considerations when you aren't starting with a blank repo? Didn't see anything in run.sh that would be dangerous for existing repos, but thought I'd ask and leave this here for anyone else that may be looking to do the same (I'm on Unraid, but it doesn't really matter)

1. Prepare environment on SERVER

   mkdir -p /mnt/user/appdata/borgserver/sshkeys/clients
   chown 1000:1000 /mnt/user/appdata/borgserver/sshkeys

2. Copy CLIENT public keys to SERVER clients folder

   CLIENT /mnt/user/appdata/borgmatic/ssh_keys/id_rsa.pub -->
   SERVER /mnt/user/appdata/borgserver/sshkeys/clients/CLIENT

3. Install docker-borgserver on SERVER. Verify docker logs are clean.
   port -> 2222
   /sshkeys -> /mnt/user/appdata/borgserver/sshkeys
   /backup -> /mnt/disks/borg_backup

4. Test access to SERVER backup from CLIENT (with translated path)

   borg_shell : borg info ssh://SERVER/mnt/disks/borg_backup/CLIENT/repo --> becomes
   borg_shell : borg info ssh://borg@SERVER:2222/backup/CLIENT/repo

I am in a similar situation. I am currently using a binary version of borg on the server but now have to switch to a dockerized version. Did everything go smooth following your steps? Doesn't changing the user and/or SSH keys kind of locks the repo when accessing to the old repo with this "dockerized" borgbackup?
